Wow, that was easier than I thought it would be. Cool.

If you use the Bonsai PDA/PC outliner, here is an export template that will export the outline in OPML format. If you happen to use Radio Userland or similar application, this will make it immediately importable into this application.

I have no idea if anyone else on god’s green earth will find this useful, but it was fun that it just worked.

To use it with your Bonsai PC application clip out the following text and create an “OXT” file in your Bonsai directory, eg.
c:/Program Files/Natara/Bonsai/OPML.oxt

(snip the rest of this message)

This template file exports Bonsai outlines in the
"Outline Processor Markup Language"
(OPML, http://www.opml.org) format.

The formatting is pretty simplistic, I've only used
the #TEXT# tag, leaving out things like the #NUMBER#
or the #PRIORITY# tags.  But its easily modifiable.
Tear into it if you need to. (As the gym teacher used
to say, "The ball can't hurt you.")

[OPTIONS]
  EXTENSION=OPML
  MARKUP=XML
